Abstract

Abstract  Observation  of  weather parameters are important for forecasting and analysing weather to determine the weather phenomenon, the lack of maritime weather observations in BMKG is one of the factors of the accuracy of weather forecasts issued by BMKG. Therefore, it required a tool or instrument to monitoring maritime meteorological parameters that work automatically to record data and facilitate weather observation. The design of Maritime Automatic weather station consists of several meteorological parameters such as air temperature, air  humidity,  air  pressure,  sea  water  temperature, wind   direction   and   wind   speed.   The   hardware consists   of   several   sensors   such   as   SHT11,  BMP180,  DS18B20,  HCSR04,  Wind  Speed,  Wind Direction and other supporting devices like ATmega 2560 and Atmega 328 minimum system, RTC3231, SD-Card, Telemetry 3DR, and LCD 20X4 to display data, while for the software consists of Arduino IDE to build the system and LabView. Data from sensors is processed using a microcontroller to generate weather  parameter  data,  then  they  will  be transmitted using wireless communication and displayed in software application
